- probably the most useful post here so far. On a 'CatI' ILS, at the usual 200' DH, the PAPIS/T-VASIS/VASIS/man with red flag are NOT reliable from there on in, and providing you are on GP at 200' you will NOT come to grief just pointing and landing - in any sized thing.

PS I think R5 means "in the middle of the touchdown zone" (unless, of course, he flies for AA....................)
